Nuclei at the proton dripline can be produced via stable-ion beam induced fusion evaporation reactions A large variety of beams is needed

Even-mass Pb isotopes Level systematics
197At 195Bi Influence of onset of deformation is seen in proton binding energies of low lying states in odd-mass At and Bi isotopes
For understanding the character of the low-lying states in the dripline Bi and At nuclei, more spectroscopic information is needed • Physics case : 185Bi102 - proton emitter
Decay properties of 185Bi can be studied at the focal plane of a recoil separator. Its excited states can be probed by employing in-beam RDT techniques. Possible reactions 93Nb(95Mo,3n)185Bi, 95Mo(92Mo,pn)185Bi, 50 nb But .....
Developments are needed • 10 – 1000nA Mo beams needed • Ion source developments • Symmetric reactions • Scattered beam at the focal plane of the separator • Better recoil separators + high-granularity detector system at the focal plane High gamma-ray counting rates in in-beam measurements Digital electronics + high-granularity detectors
